Laurdan (6-Dodecanoyl-2-dimethylaminonaphthalene) is a fluorescent membrane probe that is spectrally sensitive to the phospholipid phase of the cell membrane to which it binds.
Direct Black 38 (Chlorazol Black E) is a black azo dye that absorbs various colors of light and is commonly used in the textile industry.Direct Black 38 is genotoxic and induces unplanned DNA synthesis in rat liver and bone marrow micronuclei.
7-Hydroxy-4-methylcoumarin-3-acetic acid, SE is a useful organic compound for research related to life sciences. The catalog number is T67683 and the CAS number is 96735-88-5.
CytoCalcein Violet 450 is a fluorogenic dye used to assess cell viability. It is a cell-permeable dye that, upon entering cells, is cleaved by intracellular esterases. CytoCalcein Violet 450 is retained by living cells and displays excitation emission maxima of 405 450 nm, respectively.
2-(7-Hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-chromen-4-yl)acetic acid is a useful organic compound for research related to life sciences. The catalog number is T65277 and the CAS number is 6950-82-9.
4-Methylumbelliferyl β-D-Galactopyranoside-6-sulfate (sodium salt) (4-MU-Gal-6S) is a fluorogenic substrate used to quantify N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulphatase (GALNS) activity. 4-MU-Gal-6S is cleaved by GALNS to release the fluorescent moiety 4-MU. 4-MU fluorescence is pH-dependent with excitation maxima of 320 and 360 nm at low (1.97-6.72) and high (7.12-10.3) pH, respectively, and an emission maximum ranging from 445 to 455 nM, increasing as pH decreases. It has been used to detect Morquio disease type A, a lysosomal storage disorder in which GALNS is deficient. 4-MU-Gal-6S can be used to assess GALNS activity in a very small blood volume to determine the extent of deficiency.
